Dish Network ViP722 HD DVR
Quick Take: While CNET did not review the Dish Network ViP722 HD DVR, we did review the ViP622. The two HD DVRs are identical but for color (the 622 is silver) and storage capacity. The ViP722 can store any combination of as much as 55 hours of HD ...

They have a policy of destroying your personal equipment if sent to them by mistake. They give NO notice by any means before robbing you of equipment and destroying it. They simply only apologize for "inconvenience" after a BBB complaint is filed.
"Way toooo difficult to use. Doesn't compare to TIVO!"

"Lots of great features and excellent Tech Support"
Although I know very little about DVRs from T...
